Beautiful Lakewood Cemetery is the perfect setting to honor our nation’s veterans. Ride the streetcar right to the Lake Calhoun gate, open
only once each year, for this special event. Stay as long as you like before catching the trolley back to Linden Hills.

Bring Dad for a free ride on his special day. Visit our carbarn and see
where the streetcars are maintained and repaired.

PJ Party

Thursdays, June 25, July 16, and August 20
6 PM & 7 PM$5 per passenger

Put on your jammies and grab your best bear. Then head for the Linden Hills Station at Lake Harriet for the PJ Party.
We'll start with milk and cookies on the platform,
then board the streetcar for a trip down the line.
We'll stop for a bedtime story from a noted children’s author before we return to the station.
The event lasts about 45 minutes. In the event of rain the PJ Party will be postponed to the following Thursday.

Tickets are available only at Wild Rumpus Books in Linden Hills. This is a very popular event and typically sells out.

Start with a “carbarn breakfast” (coffee and donuts) with the crew.
Then board historic TCRT 1300. We’ll be making several photo stops and video run-bys along the Como-Harriet right-of-way.
Then we’ll switch to the beautiful PCC 322 and repeat the sequence. You’ll be able to photograph both cars at the station
and on the pedestrian overpass. This is a unique opportunity to shoot these wonderfully restored streetcars.
Tickets available in the Linden Hills Station or online.

There's a murder aboard the trolley on the
Como-Harriet Streetcar Line and you're a witness. Who did it and why? Help solve the crime.
The trip lasts about 45 minutes.
Tickets available in the Linden Hills Station or online.
Most performances sell out.

For kids 6 to 11 who love streetcars! We'll spend the morning learning
all about track, motors, and controls. We'll see how the crew does their
jobs. Then each child will have the unique opportunity to climb into the
Motorman's seat and run the car down the line. Enrollment is limited to
about a dozen children.

For over 100 years, Twin Citians have ridden the streetcar to the lake for
the holiday.

Take a trolley ride and bring home a Halloween
pumpkin. Riders get off the car at the “pumpkin patch” where they can
search for just the right pumpkin to bring home. There are no advance
tickets or reservations.

Actors board the streetcar for a Halloween adventure. Some of the ride takes place in the dark and things do go bump in the night. It’s fun and not too scary, but may not be suitable for the youngest children. The trip is about 20 minutes. This annual event has become a real family favorite and you should plan on a moderate wait to board. There are no advance tickets or reservations.

Count Karl the Vampire Motorman is your host for this Halloween trip. Not
scary ― just silly. Wear a costume and get a treat. The ride is about 15 minutes and no advance
ticket or reservation is required.

Take a streetcar ride with Santa and warm
yourself by a friendly fire. The historic streetcar is decked out for the
holidays. The ride is about 15 minutes and no advance ticket or
reservation is required.

Celebrate the serenity and beauty of a
winter night. Our historic streetcar will be decorated inside and out
with lights and seasonal greens and hundreds of luminaries light the
right-of-way. There’ll be a fire to cozy up to and
marshmallows to roast. Will Santa make an appearance? This is a rare
opportunity to experience the night in a whole new light.
